Six ways Sparx Services makes your EA practice work harder

From initial assessment through integration, governance, and platform management — our services cover the full spectrum of enterprise architecture enablement for Sparx EA teams.

Our services

Where do you want to start?

Most organizations begin with Discover to establish a clear baseline, then move through the journey stages. But if you know where you need to focus, you can start at any point.

Stage 1

Discover

EA maturity assessment, gap analysis, and AI readiness evaluation. Output: a scored baseline and prioritized roadmap. If you're unsure where your practice stands, start here.

Ideal if: you're new to Sparx EA, your EA practice hasn't been formally assessed, or you need a business case for continued investment.

FAQ

How does the journey work?

No. Each stage delivers value independently. Some organizations start at Connect if they already have a clear maturity baseline. Others come to us specifically for Deploy or Platform Support. The journey stages are a framework, not a mandatory sequence.
A full Discover through Amplify journey typically runs 6-12 months depending on organization size and complexity. Individual stages are shorter — Discover is 3-8 weeks, Connect 4-16 weeks, Amplify 6-12 weeks, Deploy 2-6 weeks.
Some can. Deploy often runs concurrently with Discover or Connect since platform commissioning is relatively independent. Amplify does require Connect to be in place first — the MDG and AI augmentation work builds on the integration layer.
